elcock vs mcdermott - birmingham vs the black country

[saturday_kid]

Just wondered what everyones thoughts are of their upcoming fight (now at coventry skydome june 20). This fight is big news round these parts. Live on sky whats everyone's predictions? I'm hoping for mcdermott to walk away with the belt but i'm unsure whether he can pull it off.

Elcock!

I still remeber the Murray fight but if we call that a blip then I think Elcocks the guy with the better talent and will take it on points .

[Fenster]

Hmm.. very hard fight to pick.

Bookies have it even.

Elcock has clearly the better form. He didn't do too bad against AA. I thought he'd getted stopped much faster (although thats possibly down to Abraham's style).

is this fight off? As I'm going to another show (in wolverhampton) on the same night but its just said on the wolverhampton civic website to arrive earlier as that show is now being filmed by sky, but friday fight night was sposed to be elcock vs mcdermott. Surely its not been postponed again.

sorry to answer my own question but just found out that the elcock vs mcdermott fight has been moved from coventry and added to the top of the bill of the wolverhampton show! Which is great news for me! It truly is gonna be a battle of the midlands, and with many other wolverhampton/black country boxers on the bill mcdermott could feel that home advantage and maybe pull it off.

Yeh I heard they merged the 2 shows which is great news for local fans as now they don't have to miss anything.

Yeah like me its great! A lot of people round this way are really looking forward to tonight, its got quite a bit of media coverage (local news, local papers which usually practically ignore boxing) and the feeling is the elcock macca fight could go either way.

Not that great for me though!

I had a 10 minute car journey to the Skydome and now well, I don't fancy an hour plus trip on the M6 on Friday evening to get to Wolverhampton!

Should be a good fight, but one I'll be watching from my armchair.

What a terrible ending.

McDermott started slower than I expected. But the fight was shaping up great. Thought it was stopped a bit quick, but that's from the TV

Hey, what was the result? I can't get boxrec to come up.

[GAME]

So basically Mcdermott dominated Elcock in round 1 . Elcock came out for round 2 and headbutted Mcdermott sqaure in the face and was declared the winner for doing so . What a stupid rule. Mcdermott loses his unbeaten run cuz the other guy cheated .

Young fighters lesson to be learnt is if you are ever getting your ass kicked, nut the other guy full force and you will win . but only in Britain .

I know mate, its a stupid rule! And now Mcdermott's always gonna have that "loss" on his record. Was well pi$$ed off on the night but looking on tv the cut seemed worse, i still reckon they should've given him time inbetween the rounds & then if it was no better call it off.
